Close those Net-a-Porter tabs!
Gone are the days when shopping the international collections meant paying through the nose for international shipping, only to be brought to your knees again by the dreaded customs bill. Aotearoa’s boutique game has always been strong, with small, stylish shopping destinations dotted up and down the country. But never has the selection been so slick.
A tribute to these independent retailers and master curators – as well as the local designers they support – we went online window-shopping for the best designer pieces to buy from NZ businesses this season.
